CCC3 Posted May 30, 2017 #226 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I'm just a lowly "gold" status (but getting closer to that next level!!) Although RC says we get priority boarding, in January, anyone below diamond just waited in a huge line. Also...no special place to wait to disembark, as the website says. Anyone know if us poor lowlies lost these two teeny, tiny perks? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internetwhiz Posted May 30, 2017 #228 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I rarely see special disembarkation lounges for levels under Diamond enymore. Agreed. It's very rare on any ship. Perks begin at Platinum, and get better as you move along. We are D+ but have rarely used or gone to any disembarkation place, so for us, it's just not a biggie. I do enjoy a shorter line when embarking. I think the main thing is to focus on what's in between, namely, a great cruise. With or without any perks, the cruise itself and being with my husband and wjth family and friends are the focus. If it's tremendously important to embark more quickly, there are two options: 1. Book a suite or 2. Sail with a different line who has a fee to get you on the ship faster like FTTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BecciBoo Posted June 2, 2017 #234 Share Posted June 2, 2017 If it's tremendously important to embark more quickly, there are two options: 1. Book a suite However, on our April 23rd cruise, our Owner's Suite buds didn't get Jorge' to escort them from Schooner until we were already through customs in the Self Assist crowd. So we got in our car ahead of them and were almost through Houston by the time they got theirs. So you never know. Karen, I'll be watching for your assessment as you get off Vision the day we go.

sealeggs Posted June 2, 2017 #236 Share Posted June 2, 2017 We were booked on board on deck 6 but they had cabins available on deck 8 so we made the switch. Glad I keep looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davelliott Posted June 6, 2017 #245 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Karen, I Still Have A While Until I Sail from galveston. April 2018! I have been researching flights and they are quite a bit higher than I expected. Also Looking Around For locations for one or two nights precruise but will wait to book that until I get a better deal on flights. We gave 3 cabins so far with maybe 2 more. People flying from 2 locations. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davelliott Posted June 6, 2017 #247 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Yes I already decided to check southwest when they open. Now delta is around $625 from Raleigh! Southwest comparable times, but in December are about half that. I hope when they open reservations for April that they will be comparable.

davelliott Posted June 6, 2017 #249 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Yes, that is one of the reasons that I usually try to fly with them if possible. I especially like their policy on ticket changes if the price drops. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
